Tucson, AZ — Revenge served cold in Tucson. The Salpointe Catholic Lancers got even Friday night, taking down the Marana Tigers 20-18 in a nail-biting non-league clash. Last year, Marana made history with their first-ever win over Salpointe — but the Lancers weren’t about to let that happen twice. Fueled by a year’s worth of motivation, Salpointe came out swinging and held off a late Marana push to secure the victory. This wasn’t just a season opener; it was redemption. The win moves the Lancers to 1-0 as they now turn their focus to Tucson High Magnet School on Friday, September 5. The Badgers (0-1) will try to bounce back after a tough 21-20 loss to Mountain View. Marana, now 0-1, will look to regroup quickly before facing the Canyon View Jaguars (1-0) in Waddell. For Salpointe, this was more than a win — it was payback, and the rivalry is officially back on.
